2017 economic blockchain
1. Germination stage: the real germination stage of blockchain was from 2007 to 2009. In 2008, a Japanese American with the pseudonym of Nakamoto first expounded a new fantasy report on electronic money in the form of a synonym on the cryptography discussion group, and bitcoin came out. As early as 2007, Nakamoto began to explore a series of new technologies to create a new currency. On October 31, 2008, bitcoin white paper was released, and on January 3, 2009, bitcoin system officially began to operate
the main technologies supporting bitcoin system include hash function, distributed ledger, blockchain and asymmetric encryption; It can be seen that these technologies build the initial version of the blockchain, and it can also be said that the blockchain is the underlying technology of bitcoin. During the three years from 2007 to 2009, bitcoin was an experimental stage in which a very small number of people participated, and the real commercial activities had not really started
2. "Geek" niche stage: here, "geek" refers to people who are crazy about Internet technology and take technological innovation as fashion and life. On February 6, 2010, the first exchange of bitcoin appeared. On May 22 of the same year, someone bought two hamburgers with 10000 bitcoins. On July 17 of the same year, the exchange Mt. GOx was established, marking the official inflow of bitcoin into the market. Nevertheless, the only people who can really understand and enter the market to participate in bitcoin trading are geeks who are keen on Internet technology. They discuss bitcoin technology on the forum, mine for bitcoin on their own computers, and then buy and sell bitcoin on Mt. GOx. Now these geeks have become billionaires
3. Market brewing stage: the price of bitcoin was $13 at the beginning of 2013, but on March 18 of the same year, the government of Cyprus closed the bank and stock market e to the financial crisis, which made the price of bitcoin soar, and the highest price rose to $266 in April. On August 20 of the same year, the German government confirmed the currency status of bitcoin. On October 14, China network announced the opening of bitcoin payment channel. In November, the US Senate hearing also confirmed the legitimacy of bitcoin. On November 19, the price of bitcoin rose to US $1242, forming a new high. Nevertheless, the foundation for blockchain to enter the mainstream social economy is not yet available, and the soaring price of bitcoin is only e to over optimistic expectations. The containment of China's banking system, the collapse of Mt. GOx and other events made the price of bitcoin continue to fall. At the beginning of 2015, the price of bitcoin has dropped below $200. From 2013 to the beginning of 2015, the public began to understand bitcoin and blockchain
4. The mainstream period of blockchain: on June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom left the European Union, the fifth nuclear test of North Korea in September, Trump's election in November and other events, the uncertainty of the world's mainstream economy led to the recovery of bitcoin with the function of risk aversion. The market demand was large, and the increase of trading volume made the price of bitcoin soar from $400 in 2016 to $20000 in 2017, The wealth effect of bitcoin and the transaction overflow caused by network congestion of bitcoin have led to the outbreak of other series of virtual currencies, as well as a variety of blockchain applications, resulting in the emergence of a large number of blockchain assets that are 100 times, even 1000 times and 10000 times, which has aroused the crazy pursuit of the world, Subsequently, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange launched bitcoin futures trading, marking that bitcoin has officially entered the mainstream investment proct series, and bitcoin and blockchain have entered the global attention
5. Instry landing stage: after the market frenzy in 2017, the virtual currency and blockchain have been adjusted in terms of market, supervision, cognition, etc. in 2018, returning to rationality. In 2017, many blockchain projects that follow the blockchain technology will graally die out with the cooling of the market, and the projects with real blockchain applications will be initially implemented. 2018 is not only the first year of the blockchain, but also a gold rush period for the blockchain. After the waves wash away the sand, what remains is relatively good gold
from the perspective of the history of blockchain development, blockchain technology is not yet mature and is currently in the growth period. The specific practical application of blockchain is only used in the financial field. It still needs a long way to go to apply blockchain from other instries. However, we should grasp the trend of blockchain and actively learn from the new field of blockchain.
There is no doubt that blockchain has development prospects, and the necessary condition for development prospects is to enter the mainstream market
North America blockchain infrastructure the oan (former aion network) founder and CEO Matt spoke published an article entitled "in order to successfully enter the mainstream market, blockchain projects must" eat dog food "in Forbes on July 24, in which Matt mentioned his views on how blockchain should enter the mainstream market - & quot; Eat dog food
in the science and technology circle, there is a jargon called & quot; Eat dog food Dogfood (also known as eating your own dog food) refers to companies using their own procts and becoming users of their own procts. Many high growth companies (such as Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, apple, Netflix and Google) also test their procts by "eating dog food" or help build credibility“ "Eat dog food" is often used to find and fix bugs, but it has another value: to create reliable use cases for the company's procts
this is worth learning from blockchain projects, because blockchain projects often hold & quot; Once built, they (users) will come naturally, which habitually leaves the responsibility of creating new and interesting blockchain applications to a third party
this attitude is very common, even the well-known blockchain summit consensus 2019 also held a conference entitled & quot; Once built, they (users) will naturally come: to build a global blockchain Center & quot; To discuss how governments around the world can make efforts to attract blockchain projects while balancing regulatory, investment and innovation needs
to be fair, this strategy may be effective for blockchains that only focus on people in the currency circle. For the security token, especially for the exchange represented by the transaction, it makes more sense - "supply creates demand" is the usual idea here, especially considering that the realization of these transactions requires the construction of complex infrastructure
in contrast, "eat dog food" is more likely to be adopted by blockchain project developers who seek mainstream audiences (such as those in financial instry, manufacturing and supply chain, identity management, etc.). If blockchain technology wants to enter these mainstream fields, blockchain companies must first "eat dog food". This can not only clearly prove that blockchain technology is feasible outside the coin circle, but also highlight that blockchain can not only optimize existing use cases, but also create new use cases
and the oan team has been adhering to this concept, and relying on the oan and aion's technology stack built over the years, it has developed a financial technology platform moves for independent workers
Matt said that in the development and development of moves, the team hopes that the relevant functions of the OAN blockchain network can be brought into full play, so it will focus on the following three aspects:
1. How to use the OAN blockchain network to improve the credit efficiency of the proct there are two main considerations to improve credit efficiency: 1) can we use the mechanism of the defi market to rece the cost of capital; 2) Can the blockchain technology be used to increase the external trust in the credit process of moves. Here, moves will form a mechanism of "pooling wisdom", so that everyone can contribute to recing credit risk and increasing the credibility of credit process, and may even develop a micro guarantee mechanism in the future. Therefore, users will be able to participate in the market established by the platform as borrowers, lenders or guarantors
specifically, by connecting moves with the oan network, and with the help of digital asset aion, a relationship of interest consistency is formed between procts and users, so that users can personally experience the success of moves procts and directly participate in the oan, a blockchain network supporting moves
3. How to create the first open system of financial reputation data with moves
this open system may become a substitute for traditional credit scores or related mechanisms. Over the years, banks and financial institutions have been using Equifax, Fico or other similar institutions' scores as risk indicators, and the moves team believes that the procts they are building will be a good start - the beginning of a more perfect and modern financial reputation system. This is a long-term goal
moves supports North American mainstream carpooling, take out and other casual work economic platforms, and will be the flagship open application developed by the oan on its blockchain network. In June, moves expanded its operations from Ontario to Alberta and British Columbia into western Canada
all the initiatives of the oan team adhere to the spirit of "eating dog food" and strive to make blockchain technology enter the mainstream market as soon as possible. Blockchain is not for the minority, but for the mainstream. In addition to the oan team, many projects and institutions in the blockchain instry are also aiming at this goal. Can you say that such an excellent and targeted blockchain has no development prospects
blockchain is a P2P network based on the Internet, which was first used in bitcoin protocol in October 2008. Bitcoin is a virtual currency system; It decentralizes currency issuance, ownership transfer and transaction confirmation. Bitcoin is the first application case of blockchain technology. Digital currencies such as Puyin, Laite coin and doggy coin are also the application of blockchain.
if you look at the problem with the thinking of 30 years ago, you will think that others are crazy, but in fact you are out of date
the concept of blockchain can be traced back to the end of 2008. In the forum, a mysterious personage named "Nakamoto Tsung" published a paper "bitcoin: a peer-to-peer e-cash system" and proposed the concept of blockchain for the first time
on January 3, 2009, the first block of the blockchain was born, which is called the "Founding block"
almost with the birth of blockchain technology, bitcoin became the first thing to play its role. In the following years, bitcoin graally swept the world. In 2017, its crazy market made blockchain technology known to all
the idea of blockchain first appeared in the famous bitcoin open source project. In the process of its birth and development, bitcoin project draws on the technical achievements from digital currency, cryptography, game theory, distributed system, cybernetics and other fields. It can be said that bitcoin project is good at all. As its core supporting structure, blockchain technology is a remarkable innovation achievement
blockchain is a distributed database system with different nodes, which is an open ledger system<
three characteristics of blockchain
compared with the traditional centralized scheme, blockchain technology mainly has the following three characteristics:
the core idea of blockchain is decentralization
in the blockchain system, the rights and obligations between any node are equal, and all nodes have the ability to vote with computing power, Thus, the result recognized by more than half of the nodes is guaranteed. Even under serious hacker attacks, as long as the number of nodes controlled by hackers does not exceed half of the total number of nodes in the world, the system can still operate normally and the data will not be tampered with
block chain's biggest subversive is the establishment of credit
the collective maintenance of blockchain can rece the cost
in the centralized network system, the maintenance and operation of the system depend on the operation and operation of platforms such as data center, and the cost cannot be omitted. Anyone can participate in the nodes of the blockchain. Each node can verify the correctness of the results of other nodes' records while participating in the records, which improves the maintenance efficiency and reces the cost
in a word, blockchain touches money, trust and power, which are the fundamental basis for human survival< Its development has gone through three stages
1. Brewing period: from 2009 to 2012, bitcoin and its instrial ecology are the main economic forms
2. Embryonic period: from 2012 to 2015, with bitcoin entering the public view, new wallet payment and remittance companies appeared, and blockchain economy spread to the financial field. The underlying technology of blockchain is constantly innovated. Blockchain technology is separated from bitcoin system
3. Development period: in 2016, we began to explore instry applications, and a large number of blockchain start-ups appeared. The popularity of ICO in 2017 has given blockchain unprecedented attention
"blockchain 2.0 era" is coming
the application service layer is the driving force for the sustainable development of blockchain, which is divided into three stages of application: 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0
programmable currency: blockchain 1.0 application
programmable currency is the digital currency represented by bitcoin, but it is not the legal tender of any country or region, and there is no government authority to provide guarantee for it
programmable Finance: blockchain 2.0 application& quot; Smart contract& quot; Using program algorithm to replace the concept of contract execution. This enables blockchain to expand from the original monetary system to the registration and transfer of equity, creditor's rights and property rights, the transaction and execution of securities and financial contracts, and even the financial fields of gambling and anti-counterfeiting
programmable Society: blockchain 3.0 application
blockchain is the core of value Internet, which can confirm, measure and store the property rights of information and bytes representing value in each Internet. It can not only record the transactions of the financial instry, but also record almost anything valuable that can be expressed in the form of code. Its application can be extended to any field with demand, and then to the whole society
at present, the application of blockchain has begun to surpass bitcoin (blockchain 1.0), enter the era of blockchain 1.5, and transition to the financial field (blockchain 2.0)
in the next 3-5 years, blockchain may go beyond the financial field and enter the field of social notarization and intelligence (blockchain 3.0), including identity authentication, notarization, arbitration, audit, domain name, logistics, medical care, mail, visa, voting and other fields. Its application scope will be expanded to the whole society, and blockchain technology is likely to become a new technology& quot; All things are connected& quot; It's the lowest level protocol
at present, blockchain technology has been recognized by the world, and its development has become an inevitable trend. Accompanied by more people's attention, "in the next 30 years, new technologies will be integrated into all aspects of traditional instries, and human society will turn upside down. No matter who you are, no matter where you are, all of us will be a part of this great change."
this is the current situation. Blockchain has given the post-90s an opportunity. However, if you want to control blockchain technology without being affected by negative factors, the most important thing is to have a clear understanding of it, whether it is regulators, researchers, speculators or bystanders
it's time to devote more energy to blockchain technology
in China, the average annual salary of blockchain positions has reached more than 300000, and that of some enterprises has reached more than 1 million. The monthly salary of blockchain instry graates in Beijing, Shanghai and other places has exceeded 20K! If the post-90s seize the bonus of the times, they may become the next Alibaba in the future! If you miss it, you may regret it for ten years.
From last year when I entered the field of blockchain and became a member of the coin circle, I found that there are many ways to make money from blockchain. It depends on what you can do to make money
< HR / >first of all, the most direct way is to speculate in digital currency in the exchange . In the initial stage, you can choose some mainstream currencies with high value, such as bitcoin and Ethereum
the fifth way is other special ways . This is another special way, including helping some project parties do community operation, you will get some token, or helping the project parties write white papers, you can also get a certain amount of token reward
there are probably several ways to make money in blockchain. I wish you an early realization of wealth

Blockchain instry presents rapid development, helping the real economy to rece costs and improve efficiency
at present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and instrial change sweeping the world, big data, cloud computing, Internet of things, artificial intelligence, blockchain and other new technologies continue to emerge, and the digital economy is profoundly changing the way of human proction and life, becoming a new driving force of economic growth. As a disruptive technology, blockchain is leading a new round of technological and instrial changes in the world, and is expected to become
the "source" of global technological innovation and mode innovation, and promote the change from "information internet" to "value Internet"
in China's 13th five year plan for national informatization, blockchain is regarded as a key cutting-edge technology, and it is clearly proposed to strengthen the innovation, experiment and application of new technologies such as blockchain,
in order to seize the leading power of the new generation of information technology. At present, China's blockchain technology continues to innovate, and the blockchain instry has initially taken shape. It has begun to be rapidly applied in supply chain finance, credit reference, proct traceability, right trading, digital identity, electronic evidence and other fields. It is expected to promote China's economic system to achieve technological change, organizational change and efficiency change, and make an important contribution to the construction of a modern economic system
as of June 2018, China's blockchain related business has initially formed a scale under the promotion of the government, enterprises and capital, and is in the forefront of the world in terms of the number of patents, financing environment, policy support and application landing
the instry is developing rapidly, and the number of enterprises is increasing rapidly.
according to the statistical data of in depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of blockchain instry published by prospective instry research institute, there were 406 patent applications related to blockchain in the world in 2017, of which 225 were from China. As of the end of March 2018, the number of blockchain based companies in China has reached 456. The blockchain instry has initially formed a scale. From the upstream hardware manufacturing, platform services, security services to the downstream instrial technology application services, instry investment, media publicity, talent services and other instrial chain links are basically complete
from the change of the number of newly established companies in China's blockchain instry, the number of Companies in this field began to increase in 2014, and the number of newly established companies increased significantly in 2016, more than 100, more than three times of 2015. 2017 is the peak period of blockchain entrepreneurship in recent years. Due to the rapid popularization of blockchain concept and the graal maturity of technology, many entrepreneurs swarmed into this field, and the number of newly established companies reached 178
from equipment manufacturing to instrial application, the context of the blockchain instry chain is graally clear.
from the distribution of newly established companies in the blockchain instry segmentation field, as of the end of March 2018, the number of instrial application companies in the blockchain field is the largest, including 86 companies providing application services for the financial instry and 109 companies providing application services for the real economy. In addition, there are more than 40 related companies in blockchain solutions, underlying platforms, blockchain media and communities
from the perspective of the distribution of investment events in the blockchain instry segments, companies related to instrial application services have the largest number of investment events, with a total of 113. It can be seen that investors are paying more and more attention to projects with specific application scenarios that can be actually implemented. The number of events in the field of underlying platform is 42, and the number of events in the field of blockchain media and community is 28. The field of blockchain is attracting more and more entrepreneurs and capital, becoming a new highland for innovation and entrepreneurship. With the development of blockchain technology and the acceleration of application, the instrial scale will continue to increase, and this field is expected to become a new economic growth point in the future
the influx of Internet giants has rapidly promoted the development of China's blockchain instry
blockchain technology is not only favored by start-ups, but also widely concerned by internet giants. Internet giants have expanded their blockchain business and rapidly promoted the development of China's
blockchain instry. At present, Tencent, Alibaba, Internet, Jingdong and other Internet instry giants have joined in the research and scenario application of blockchain technology
the regional distribution is relatively concentrated, and the instrial agglomeration effect is obvious.
from the perspective of the regional distribution of China's blockchain companies, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and Zhejiang are still the concentration places of blockchain entrepreneurship, accounting for more than 80% of the total. Among them, Beijing is in the absolute leading position with 175 companies, accounting for 38%; Shanghai ranked second with 95 companies, accounting for 21%; Guangdong Province ranked third with 71 companies, accounting for 16%; Zhejiang Province ranked fourth with 36 companies, accounting for 8%. In addition, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Fujian, Hubei, Chongqing and Guizhou are among the top ten provinces in China's blockchain entrepreneurial activity
the application of blockchain is diversified, extending from finance to the field of entity
blockchain technology has the characteristics of distributed, tamper proof, high transparency and traceability, which is very suitable for the business needs of the whole financial system. Therefore, it has been applied in payment and clearing, credit financing, financial transactions, securities, insurance, leasing and other sub fields. For example, Minsheng Bank and China CITIC Bank jointly launched the first domestic L / C blockchain application, and Ping An of China's two major application scenarios of asset trading and credit reference have been online. China Merchants Bank has landed the first domestic blockchain cross-border payment application, and Weizhong bank has shortened the reconciliation time from t + 1 day to t + 0 day through the inter agency reconciliation platform based on blockchain, realizing daily quasi real-time reconciliation
with the graal maturity of blockchain technology innovation and development, the actual effect of instrial application has become more and more obvious
now, the application of blockchain has extended from the financial field to the physical field, including electronic information deposit, right management and trading, proct traceability, digital asset trading, Internet of things, intelligent manufacturing, supply chain management and other fields. Blockchain technology began to be deeply integrated with the real economy instry, forming a number of "instrial blockchain" projects, ushering in the era of "a hundred flowers bloom" of instrial blockchain
to realize "informatization of cooperation links" and help the real economy rece costs and improve efficiency, Specifically, we can promote the development of traditional instries from two aspects of "cost rection" and "efficiency improvement"
in addition to low cost and high efficiency, blockchain can also realize "trust transfer" or "trust spillover". Based on blockchain technology, since the information on the chain can not be tampered with, after the two parties jointly verify a transaction, the third party can also trust the information, In fact, this kind of trusted state can be transmitted to a third party, and then realize the capitalization of data. In addition, it is very easy for institutions to turn from the "black box" state to the "white box" state, that is, the operational mechanism of institutions is transparent, which makes it very easy to prove their innocence and greatly reces the cost of mutual trust between multi-agent
Further, blockchain will play the role of "improving the efficiency of instrial chain coordination". To improve the level of instrial collaboration is an important way to promote made in China to move towards the middle and high end, and also an important requirement for building a modern economic system. However, in many instries, the efficiency of instrial chain collaboration is still not high, especially in the field of international tradetechnology abuse leads to certain risks in instrial development, which can not be ignored
although the positive value of blockchain technology graally appears, there are still a series of risks that can not be ignored in the process of instrial development. On the one hand, it is compliance risk. In the early stage of the development of blockchain, because it has the property of transmitting value, it has attracted some behaviors that are not focused on technology application, but are keen on illegal fund-raising, pyramid selling and even fraud through ICO (initial token issue)
the instrial policy system has been graally constructed, and the instrial development environment has been continuously optimized. In December 2016, the notice of the State Council on printing and distributing the 13th five year plan for national informatization first mentioned blockchain, and took it together with quantum communication, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, big data cognitive analysis, driverless vehicles and other technologies as key cutting-edge technologies, clearly proposed the need to strengthen the innovation, testing and application of blockchain and other new technologies, In order to seize the leading power of the new generation of information technology. Secondly, relevant instry, national and international standards are also speeding up to solve the key technical standards of blockchain and promote the ecological development of blockchain instry. In order to grasp the development opportunity of blockchain instry and seize the commanding point of blockchain instry development, local governments timely issued blockchain technology and instrial development support policies, which ushered in a new outbreak of blockchain instry
at present, local governments are actively positioning blockchain technology from the perspective of instry and seizing the new opportunities brought by technology upgrading. For example, in March 2018, the Hebei provincial government issued the guiding opinions on accelerating instrial transformation and upgrading and building a modern instrial system, proposing to actively cultivate and develop future instries such as blockchain and build a world-class high-tech instrial cluster
According to the overall plan of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, preventing and defusing major risks is one of the priorities of China's economic work in the next three years, and the key to preventing and defusing major risks is to prevent and control financial risks. Therefore, China also actively strengthens instry supervision, prevents possible financial risks in the process of blockchain development, maintains the stability and security of national finance, and promotes the healthy development of blockchain instry, so as to better play the positive role of blockchain "value Internet"blockchain is a cutting-edge technology, and the new regulatory challenges caused by technology also require the continuous progress of regulatory technology. "Reg tech" (regulatory Technology) in the financial technology segment. It is to use new technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence and blockchain to solve regulatory compliance problems and rece compliance costs. Blockchain filing platform and blockchain based regulatory system all belong to the field of reg tech. There have been companies engaged in regulatory technology in China, which mainly provide regulatory technology solutions for the government, major banks and other financial regulatory agencies. Jinqiu technology, zhongxiangbit and other companies have launched a supervision system based on blockchain
1. The commercial blockchain projects launched by IBM have been applied by some companies around the world
2
3. Blockchain technology is suspected to be used in the digital currency that the central bank plans to issue.
the blockchain itself also needs to consider password security. Because blockchain is a kind of additional account book that can encode the effective transactions in the system by using cryptography technology, we must strengthen the security of the password itself. At the same time, the security of blockchain is the same as other important information systems, so the system security must be strengthened
from the perspective of talent supply side, the growth rate of blockchain talents can not meet the market demand. According to the data of LinkedIn in February 2018, the global demand for blockchain talents began to grow in 2015 and experienced explosive growth from 2016 to 2017. However, at present, its proportion in the total demand of the global talent market is still very low. In recent years, the instry with the fastest growing demand for blockchain talents is the computer software instry, followed by the financial services and insurance instry. From 2015 to 2017, the number of talents with blockchain related skills on LinkedIn's archives has increased nearly 19 times, but the total number of talents is still small, which is only about 2% of the global AI talents on LinkedIn's platform
the ecology of blockchain instry chain is graally forming. In 2018, the whole instry status, including hardware and infrastructure, platform and infrastructure, general technology layer and peripheral service layer, has made relevant progress. It has become a subversive and strategic key supporting technology, and also an important technology to promote the integration of digital economy and real economy
to enable the deep integration of digital economy and real economy, blockchain should further increase investment, strengthen basic research, enhance the original innovation ability, strive to occupy the commanding height of innovation and obtain new instrial advantages. In particular, the implementation of blockchain in China faces not only technical problems, but also challenges of market integration, talent training and legal system. At present, the entity enterprises' cognition of blockchain is relatively insufficient, and their awareness of change is not strong, which also restricts the development of blockchain technology in the field of manufacturing
the Xueshuo innovation blockchain Technology Workstation of Lianqiao ecation online is the only approved "blockchain Technology Specialty" pilot workstation of "smart learning workshop 2020 Xueshuo innovation workstation" launched by the school planning, construction and development center of the Ministry of ecation of China. Based on providing diversified growth paths for students, the professional station promotes the reform of the training mode of the combination of professional degree research, proction, learning and research, and constructs the applied and compound talent training system.
many domestic enterprises are paying attention to the blockchain and trying related projects of the blockchain. Puyin group is the first to launch the tea based digital currency Puyin in the tea instry; China Post and IBM jointly launched the blockchain asset custody system.
